Fireplace ?

I remember when we got our first AC.  It was one of those big square AC units.
It only cooled 1 room, and my Dad only turned it on during special occasions.

Me being a 10 year old kid growing up in the South Texas heat, every time he switched it on,
It was like being in Heaven.     
 

I remember our first AC in south Georgia. It sure was nice.

I've been thinking about the whole heating cost thing though. Al Gore invented the internet. TiT has done...well...probably every thing else. Why don't Gore and TiT join together and use their combined creativity and greatness to create some sort of "free" heat?

Yeah I can just hear it now,

Whats worse is how easy it is to find the answer with Google.

No, you are an idiotist. The reason we work hard all our lives is to earn our own way and to deserve whatever benefits we receive. I'll be damned if my retirement pension that I grew as the result of my 30+ years of work and contributions is going to send YOUR kids to college. I don't owe you anything. If the government says I have to now pay the usual cost of my health care plus another $15/month in order to get universal up and running for me and everyone, I can probably handle that. But don't tell me I have to pay more taxes to provide you with free internet or better libraries. Cope. Find other resources. Earn them. Or make do without.

Where do libs come up with this stuff? I scanned the constitution and I don't see where it says that the reason we pay federal taxes to to take care of the people. The reason we pay taxes is to fund the government who provides military protection for it citizens from hostile foriegn invaders, to provide some basic services and to regulate interactions between the states. Everything else is just so much fluff. The government isn't here to hold your hand when it's dark and tell you that there are no monsters lurking in the closet. That is you mom's job...

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Yeah, I had a really hard time with that wording too.  Where they ever got it in their heads that the gov't was here to provide for us I'll never know.
